Don't go to the X Men boards. They don't like ANYTHING over there besides Claremont and the 93 cartoon.Originally Posted by WebSlingWonder
Kidding (sort of).
I'm complaining about complainers, I hate myself!!!!

The X-Men boards are the Alan Moore of CBR!

Agreed! That theme music though... I still imagine it plays in the background when I'm about to spend adult time with my wife. Originally Posted by Celgress

Remember when Alan Moore created the Invisible Man and Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde??
The man who "created" an all star lineup of borrowed characters was upset about creators using characters they didn't invent... You can't make this stuff up.

man's got talent, but he's lost the plot as far as his rants about other creators go. Originally Posted by Daniel22

Yeah he's reached "beloved crazy uncle" status at this point. He's done more than enough to get tons of leeway from me, I don't really get upset (I don't get upset by things anyone I don't know says, as a general rule, but still) at what he says, I just hope it's an entertaining wreck at this point. He usually delivers on that. Uncle Alan is harmless, just let him tire himself out and he'll settle down eventually. Originally Posted by boots

BND. Not only because it was born from the worst Spider-Man story of all time, but because it was painfully boring.

Eh, I go to the X boards sometimes and I've never read Claremont's stuff and could care less about the '93 cartoon. I have seen people like you describe there, though. Originally Posted by Daniel22

The man sure can write. Hard to disagree with what he is saying there, but at the same time its hard to see the best way forward. We've had plenty of radical creativity, but none of it has matched the sheer impact Lee had. Originally Posted by boots

They like Rogue and Gambit, that makes them A-OK in my book. Originally Posted by Daniel22

-Pav, who always favors webshooters on the outside...You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.
